I absolutely love Obenauf's! It is made in a small town not far from my home town. The Obenauf's are extremely humble and amazing people. Glad to see their product getting some recognition!

I watched it and thought it went by fast. This the type of stuff I like. I have UA-cam red for exactly these types of videos. I don’t watch your videos most of the time. I playlists them, go to black screen then listen as I’m going down the road. I’m in the truck non stop for 2 weeks at a time so that’s a lot of listening time. I do this all day everyday for the channel that go into detail for topics I like. When I’m on my 10 hour break, I watch the ones that have something I want to see that’s when I do my likes. I don’t want to be tempted to look at the screen while I’m sitting or trying to skip commercials while driving.
I definitely agree with your comment about our throw away society. I have several pairs of quality hiking boots, and I plan to have those guys last me for many years, so I treat them about once a month whether I've used them or not. Thanks for the video, and the instruction.
Just got to say Cody that I'm really enjoying you videos keep up the great work :-) at times like these I need to smile and watch your homesteading video helps with that and lighten my day.
BEAUTIFUL pair of boots! I can only dream about something so incredible. Just bought my first can of Obenauf's. Can't wait for it to arrive. Thank you.
Love your videos. I have learned so much already and can't wait to see whatever you post next. Am now debt free after watching your videos. Should be looking for property in the next year or two. Can't wait to start living the good life.
I have a pair of Adam's Boots and I have used both Obenauf's LP and the Adam's Boot Grease. What I've found is that the Adam's makes the leather softer and more supple, but offers a little less on the protection side. I work in construction, and my boots are routinely saturated with water and covered with mud all day, to say nothing of sharp rebar edges and cement powder and the like. I find myself reconditioning my boots every other week or so, and I don't wear them every day. My routine is to Obenauf's every time, but every 3rd or 4th time, I smear a little Adam's inside and out before applying the LP.
This is a great topic . Ive never paid attention to my boots other than waxing the tip or changing the inner soles also never seen boots that are screwed in the bottom sole . It did remind me as well to be careful of using flammable cleaning products on the boots . Thank you
I love the guitar in your opening... so calming..
got a pair of White's Smokejumpers in 87 while doing timber stand exams anf firefighting in the Swan valley. $180. In '88 added a pair of White's Cowboy-packers while on a trailcrew in the Bitterroot. $240. Worth every penny. Saved me some sprained ankles and mayby worse while coming down under reserve parachutes. Wore them every day for 20 years. Excellent.
I live in Hawaii, in the city. I literally don't have a use for boots here, but theses videos make me want a custom pair. They looks so fulfilling.
I just read in the comments you're uploading now! I can't wait! By the way Cody, I loved your adventure van. I just bought a 95 e150 w a 351 and 3.55 rear. Can pull 12,000. It's awesome...has an electric rear seat that goes down into a bed and 4 captains chairs. I may modify in the future but I've had it one whole day and can't wait to take my two young boys fishing and camping in it!
Used british army combat boots foe years, from the old dmf ammo boots to my most recent pair of 4 years, there is an old saying that old army boots do not break in, its your feet that break in, l.o.l. In the woods in all seasons, wood management, terrible bramble clearing and walking the fields in all weathers. Chalk and flint on the english downs is hard going on boots,I always give my boots a brush every day and dubbin regularly. When I was younger, I was in an army mountain rescue unit as the medic, then I wore Italian climbing boots made by scarpa, still got an old pair, 42 yrs old but the combat boots better for rough woodland work. I was salivating over your logging boots, but $500 equates to about £300 and I dont carry a lot with about 10miles a day walking about at the most . I get your point about weight of boots and army combat boots are just that, tanks for feet, at 65 your boots would outlast me and nobody wants to walk in dead mans boots. Good video as boots are very important to outdoor guys. Grace and Peace to you and yours Cody.
I am saving up for a nice pair of whites boots or a pair of adams... I have been wearing justin boots for as long as I can remember and it'll be a strange transition but worth it. I have had the same pair of cowboy pull on workboots for about 6 years now and have had new soles put on proper by a cobbler around here and all I have to say is; If you put time and care into your boots, they will last you as long as you need them, a pair of 200 dollar boots can get done what you need, but a pair of custom boots will get done what you need as comfortable as possible.
Hi Cody.
The way i do it is clean and steam, then walnut oil on the inside, beeswax+tupertine+walnut on the outside, and a final coat of pure carnauba wax.
But now i use synthetic Asolo boots, as they are lighter, equally durable with much less mantinance, and still you can kick down a mountain with them.
Best Regards.
Thanks for the art of boot care . Love the message.
I've always used Propert's leather cream & polish, and I've got western boots from Luchese, Dan Post & Tony Lama that I've had for nearly 20 years and are on their 4th and even 5th sets of soles now! That's not to say that other brands aren't as good or even better than Properts, but I started using Properts when I first went to work at an Acme Boot Factory Outlet store just a few days after my 18th birthday, and Properts was the brand we carried and the brand that I learned the most about. After working there and later at a Corral West store in Boise, ID I've got enough Properts leather conditioner and polishing cream to last me a lifetime!
My favorite Properts product is there polishing cream. Unlike the popular Kiwi Brand and similar waxy polishes, the Properts polish is a cream that combines leather conditioner, polish and leather die all in one bottle. 2% of the polish is actually leather die in what ever color your using, and instead of just covering over scratches it actually re-dies the leather back to the proper color. One word of caution though, ALWAYS wear rubber gloves when applying Properts polishing cream to your boots, because that 2% die that's so good for making scratches disappear will die your hands just as effectively as it dies your boots!
Yeap, taking care of your foot ware is important. I too had the chance to learn growing up. My dad was a 29 year Army Vet. I spent 10 years int eh Army myself. My son has also gotten the news. I still keep them in top shape. I am still wearing an 8 year old pair of boots I bought.
2022 !!! Had to watch the old stuff
Love our videos. I use Nikwax, which is a similar consistency to your LP wax, on my Hoggs of Fife boots and it clumps in the seams as in your video. When she's not looking use Mrs Wranglerstar's hair drier (if you have such a thing) and the wax melts just enough to go deep into the seam and not sit on the surface to gather dirt. Keep up the good work.
$600 for a pair of boots? Use that hairdryer right in front of her to show her you are committed to handling your business! 😁 I use my hairdryer when doing upkeep on my hub's boots all the time.
I've got 2 brushes for my boots. 1 for cleaning out the the junk, and the second to work the heavy LP in the cracks and crevices, then I lightly hit the boots with a heat gun, and it just takes in that Heavy LP, and repeat. it seems to dry into a better polymer when exposed to a little heat and applied in layers.
I have been doing construction for a decade now. Only recently have I started appreciating good boots. And by good boots I mean something not from Wal-Mart. I bought my first pair of Red Wings a few years ago and I've been looking for a new pair of boots for the past few weeks. But one thing that has bothered me was a lack of knowledge when it comes to boot care & maintenance. Like you said in the video, it's kind of a lost art (at least where I'm at). Even at Red Wings shop, they just dunk them in an oil tank. There is no regard for proper cleaning and care as you have showed. So to enlighten myself, I've been looking for a video like this one (harder to find than you might think). So I want to thank you for sharing your knowledge and your time. I appreciate it more than you might think. Great to see people that still take pride in their work!
I've just got into boots and bought my first 'proper pair' which are also Red Wings, did you find they lasted well? Did they fit really nicely after the break in?
Could you do an update on the comparison of obenaufs and Adams boot juice.
Tip: An old toothbrush works great forgetting into the nooks and crannies.
I don't wear any super expensive boots. Just a pair of chippewas but your videos have been a big help.
If you use the grease, just use a stiff bristled artists paint brush to apply, then rub it all around with your hands or use a hair drier to warm it slightly to melt it in. Works like a charm.
like ur Grandad said Boots and beds , are worth the investment, I agree and if I may add my two cents , sunglasses and hats , rank next in line . Thanks again
Love your videos. Keep up the good work.
I ALWAYS LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS Cody!!!
My wife and I look forward to watching your videos every night. She literally gasped with horror when you used your nice shirt as a rag! A proper shop has shop rags strategically placed throughout it :)
I got some of the LP. I’ll have to check out the oil now.
On to part 2....
I love your boots, and your boot videos.
Cody is there anything you can't do? Wish I was half the man you are. Great videos. I depend on them! Never stop lol
A well taken care of set of boots, Cody. I is used when talking about yourself. :p
I have a pair of whites and I've had him for 15 years because I take care of what goes on my feet because they make me money even we been resold 3 times with new Caulkes this time
my grandmother taught me to shine shoes, you can get a spretty serious shine using hose in the last steps
Wranglerstar, you do know that you can have your whites resized right? When I bought mine (lace to toe Smoke jumpers 10" model) they told me they and be resized to my feet, to a limited degree of course but, its something to think about. I must say, I am glad I found your proper boot videos, ended up with a pair of whites and my feet and knees are rejoicing at the reduced strain. Granted, the 1000mi round trip was iffy, so was the expression on my fathers face when I paid for them...
Thanks for the video, Let us know how it works out Left VS Right boot.
So I use Obhenauf's for my boots. works great. Love the smell and the finish. Im curious about your thoughts on Huberds shoe grease. Is there any comparable difference with the two products. Well if you've used them both. Thanks, Love your videos.
Cody when I was younger & had a dirt bike. I used some treatment for my boots. It was waxing like your one kind. To get it to soak in better a guy told me to use a hair drier. That liquefies the waxy stuff & makes it sink in.
Just my 2 cents...LOL
Congrats on 120k subs
I love Obenauf's. I may try that oil sometime. I am also curious to see if the Adam's boot cream works well. A big reason I like Obenauf's so much is the way the beeswax waterproofs the leather. I wonder if his will do any waterproofing for your boots.
Will these techniques work on cheaper boots like ones from say Academy?
Wonderful pair of boots.
Oh oh . . . you're in trouble now~! Using that new shirt to clean your boots.
Great video as always, thank you.
They have some oil that comes in a tub with a brush that is attached to the lid. Think plumbers glue. It is super handy. I buy the big jug, then refill small tub.
I'am curious to see if that white stuff that you applied to the boots work I'am a little sceptical it doesn't seem to be absorbing into the leather. I have been using the Viberg wax which is the same stuff as the Obenaufs different brand same manufacturer been using it for years.
+wranglerstar great video, very helpful but you were saving that a good pair of wild-land boots has glued, stitched and screwed soles, so how comes the stacked leather heel isn't stitched or screwed
Dan uk
Nothing like a good pair of boots!
What a sweet pair of boots wearing very well
Love the videos! All of them!
Thx
Bought two pair of Adam's boots. Sold two to friends. Love the whole process with him.
Have you received delivery of your boots yet?
wranglerstar Friend got his yesterday, he's delighted. We'll run them through in the mountains. 10-day horse trip starts July 27. Will know better what I think when I get out of the bush.
Got mine today. They're wonderful. Adam did a great job. I've been tromping around in them all day. Head for mountains in just over a week. Will give them a good workout there.
Told Adam about your videos. He didn't even know. That seems just about perfect to me.
Those are nice boots they look to be wearing just right
Excuse me Wranglerstar, I am from England and I do a lot of Birdwatching and hunting. Which boots do you recommend as the best you have ever had please? I really enjoy your videos, thank you. It would be nice for a reply please. Regards, David...
Great video
I have a pair of danner rainforest boots and the sole is stitched to the boot. I don't think they are crummy at all.
I use the oil and wax,just keep a hair dryer or heat gun close bye and when the leathers warm it sucks it right in.
great videos wranglerstar!
Great video. Any chance we'll see more tool restorations?
In my family we learned to shine our shoes for church too. It also prepared me for that facet of Navy life.
This may be a little ahead of things, but what do you do with wet boots? I mean, sometimes soakin' boots! What do you think of the Peet boot dryer?
I just subscribed so yea I'm new. I won several pairs of leather shoes and boots, i also try and take care of them ( think i take better care of them then i do my truck) i am a volunteer fire fighter in north west Mo. so my experience with grass fires are very different, for the most part I just wear my leather structure fire boot. and they weigh a ton.
next time when you do this again since you did half and half of obenofs and adams boot juice switch it and do it opposite of what had it this time so that way the will wear just about the same

awesome Video adam. thumbs up
Obensufs oil got me a bit dizzy after oiling a few pairs of boots, maybe it’s a strong additive, I went back to the grease instead
Ive had a pair of Carolinas for a couple of years(best boots I've ever owned btw) and I have always used mink oil once a month or 2. My question is. At what point do I strip the old stuff off and start applying new and how does one go about doing this? Thanks in advance.
Hi awesome video! I just got hired on with a wildland fire crew in British Columbia, I recently bought Viberg fire boots. Camp begins in about 10 days and my boots are a stiff as there new. A friend of mine recommended soaking my boots over night and wearing them the next day to help mould to my feet. I’ve seen mixed review online and was just curious of your opinion. I spent over 600 $ and wouldn’t want to jeopardize the leather.
Cody: where did you get that small metal pan?
Cody, what are your thoughts on armorall-ing the soles? I recently did that to mine, and it turned them black again, but the tiny bit that go on the bottom got squeaky. I know that rubber likes armorall though, so I dunno.
i would love to be a fly on the wall when she found out you used the shirt to dry off the boot! haha! great video!
Cody I have a pair of hathrone boots and danners that were my fathers and grandfathers and my boots have last about 17 years on one and 15 on the other but I like nice boots like you but really like the vid.
You didn't put the link in the description for part two!
Am I missing the link in the description? ...I am on a phone only...please let me know if it is there and not showing for some reason
What about using organic coconut oil to condition boots? Haven't tried it but it is good for skin so should be good for boots?
im just about to get a new pair of whites. any last minute tips or suggestions?
Fantastic boots Cody, but could you please give some advice with regard to production or shop bought boots, what to look for and who makes the best for less money, say around £100.00 or $150.00.
Can screws be added to a pair of crummy Danner boots to better them? And would it better them?
wranglerstar , After wearing Adam's boots now for some time now, how do you like them or think they compare to White's boots. My bother is wanting to invest in some boots and has asked for my advice. I have two different pairs of White's boot that I like very much, but after I saw your videos about Adam's boots I'v been thinking they might be the better boot. Please do let us know how Adam's boots are working out for you. Cheers :)
Just to clarify the screws melt everything
in fact I need to do that this weekend
Great video Wranglerstar. Quick question: are those 8 or 10 inch boots?
I hear you. My military background has installed in me the importance of caring for your footwear. You clean and tend you boots before you tend yourself. An army marches on its feet.
I always put my boots in the oven at low temp to heat it them up so they melt the wax
Nice video city boy.
Something makes me think Adams secret boot juice is simply cocoa butter. It would definitely make sense. I could be wrong though
Awesome video as usual!
That lotion looks like a queen Helene bottle and the smell you describe is like it also lol
Is there a reason you prefer the long tongue? I just got my red card and I’m looking at a few pairs but I’m wondering why you picked the longer tongue over the shorter or if it’s just personal preference
If you were to recommend a pair of boots as a first pair of boot, to someone that has been trapped in loafers in a retail prison for years, what would it be. My family and I are starting out in the woods and beginning to log our land. Thanks for any advice.
"Adams Boot Juice" Boom top quality product naming, lol
"Adam's Boot Juice"...I like the name...:)
Rooster
im not sure you can buy such boots in the uk ?
How do I get a pair of from Adams? Website link?
I'm 13 and I maintain my leather boots every 2-3 months if I'm working in Sandy areas il do it every month
Great video Cody, but where is the second part?
Yes uploading now Dan,
Thanks Wrangler star. Btw my dad also taught me to polish my shoes before church I think shoes are a good example of the stewardship that The Lord expects of us.
Have you ever used mink oil on your boots
For protecting your boots what is your opinion on "Mink Oil"?
hey wranglerstar do you know of any nice boots under £100 thanks
Thanks for sharing
Can anyone please tell me the name of the song at the end?
how often do you grease your boots
